Variational Systems

Systems described by variational principles—where behavior optimizes some quantity (minimizes energy, maximizes efficiency). Variational Systems are the mathematics of optimization, of finding the best path, the optimal configuration. They're used in physics (least action), engineering (optimal design), economics (utility maximization). Variational Systems assume that systems "choose" optimal paths, that nature is efficient, that optimization is fundamental. Understanding Variational Systems is understanding a world where things tend toward extremes—not random, not deterministic, but optimal.
Example: "Light takes the path of least time—a variational principle. His route-planning algorithm used the same idea: find the optimal path, minimize cost. Variational Systems worked beautifully when optimization was the goal. But human behavior wasn't always optimal; sometimes people chose worse paths for reasons the model couldn't capture. The model worked; reality didn't always cooperate."

Variations on a cloud

One of the best songs made by miracle musical, which is a side project of tally hall.

It sounds like a mashup of “isle unto thyself” another song in Hawaii part 2, “murders” in the same album. With a part that is also literally just ruler of everything by tally hall.

Whore Variable

A variable that you use throughout a code without printing it.
arr = input('Enter your array: ');
r,c = size(arr);
for j = 1:c

sum = 0;

for i = 1:r

sum = sum + arr(i,j);

end

arr2(j) = sum;
end
disp(arr2);

Oh man, that "sum" variable is a whore variable!
